Sure, exercise is important, but a potential lack of it is not the problem. The most significant way you can interact with you body is through the food/drink you put in your mouth.
Food has changed so much over the past few decades that most people no longer eat food but instead consume food like products.
Fructose is not bad when its delivered with fiber. When you eat fruit, you are getting mostly fiber with a small portion of sugar. When you are eating refined sugars such as high fructose corn syrup you are getting very little or no fiber. The lack of fiber allows the sugar to be absorbed extremely quickly, which overloads your liver.
I agree. Its nice to get away form the computer and achieve other things. A break from coding also helps build hunger to get back into it on a Monday morning. I love programming, but there's a lot more to life that doing it everyday.
I'll bet it's fine if you have ad-blocker and similar, but it's atrocious, bordering on unreadable, if you don't. If you write for the web, and you care about your readership, you need to look at your own pages with browsers they are likely to use, and no extensions. And with extensions as well, because while some of your readers will use vanilla browsers with no extensions, some will have heavily personalized setups.
Don't take it for granted that what you see is what everyone sees. It's just not true.
Rather than following the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard like most Unix-like systems, each program in a GoboLinux system has its own subdirectory tree, where all of its files (including settings specific for that program) may be found. Thus, a program "Foo" has all of its specific files and libraries in /Programs/Foo.
Separate directories do not imply conflicting versions colliding (which I guess it what you refer to?). In fact, I'd say is it less likely. Can you eloborate?
This is by far one of the best updates GitHub has made recently. Using the current GitHub on a mobile device is difficult and slow. Really pleased to see this done!
Would be good if this information was on the website. I was trying to find out if it was available for android but couldn't find anything about it (or the app in general). That aside though, this looks really great.
Hi dsyph3r - the app will be available on Android too. I'll follow up with the relevant link tomorrow when it's live. Looking forward to seeing you on on the app!
I think github's missing the point. To encourage a group to do open source we provide them with private repositories?
I get how this group may feel hesitant to post something in the open source world, but so was I, and I'm a guy.
Here's an analogy that maybe fits: Consider you meet someone that's afraid of flying. Do you say "come with me, I'll show you its safe" or do you say "here's a bunch of train and bus passes"
Writing code in an open source environment can be extremely intimidating. There is an unfortunate element of elitism around writing code and this can be very off putting for many people. Being able to code, learn, and get criticism in the privacy of a private repository is a big step toward open sourcing your code
I'm pro-elitism. It seems to me that only the most dedicated and obsessed have even a small chance of ever doing decent work, and I'm all for dissuading everyone else from adding to the mountain of poorly understood and unreliable garbage holding back our profession. I don't think anyone knows how to give (inflict?) that obsession to any child who didn't already have it, but luring the timid into a field at this stage so lacking in rigor is a waste of the useful talents they could offer to other fields.
